The other day my neighbour called to say that the poppies in her front garden were fully opened so i nipped round to get a few shots.
They are really beautiful specimens with vibrant colours and light delicate petals.
As well as the poppy there was a lone dandelion seed head and lit from behind by the evening sun I think it looks stunning.
Yesterday was a trip into the past but today I have decided to get back to nature.
Driving to work this morning the sky was so dull, grey and featureless and as the day wore on it didn't get any better. In fact outside right now it is positively miserable and I needed to find something to bring a little colour to my day.
Looking at these pictures maybe I have tipped the balance to a colour overload but what colours... I love wild flower meadows and this small swathe of wildflowers while not quite a meadow (it actually bordered the approach to Brick Croft nature reserve) is certainly a welcome sight today.
